Shizuoka Tour Review by Jean

Customer Review

We spent a wonderful day with Hiroyo tea sight seeing in Shizuoka. Even though the tour was in December we still had much fun visiting the World Tea Museum and a local tea factory. Hiroyo has excellent knowledge about tea and Shizuoka, and she is a great communicator so it really made for a wonderful tour!

Hiroyo:
Dear Jean and Bernard,
Thank you very much for your warm words!
I’m very happy to hear that you had a wonderful day in Shizuoka! I also enjoyed the day with you. Yes, although it is not the season for tea picking, but there are more places to see here in Shizuoka. I hope you’ll have another chance to visit here, of course I’ll always welcome you! Thank you so much!! (^0^)/

Hiroyo-san was very helpful and patient, responding in a timely manner to all my questions as I was trying to decide which tour to take. During the tour, she also explained the history of the places we visited using helpful aids (such as illustrations). She was also very entertaining. Last but not least, she was very flexible in accommodating my mom's request for additional stop at the end of our tour.

Hiroyo:
Dear Hedy-san,
Thank you very much for a warm review for me!
I had a great time to be with you and your family on the day and it was my great pleasure that you enjoyed Shizuoka.
The goddess of Mt. Fuji was a little shy, but appeared her face over the clouds for a while in the morning. I hope you’ll have another opportunity to visit here to see her again. Shizuoka has a lot of places to enjoy. I hope to see you again and I will always welcome you and your family here with Mt. Fuji!
Thank you so much!!
